13 month old blue and tan bitch with plenty of ticking showing in her coat. She is a very compact bitch easy to span and moved with real drive around the ring. Plainer in head than one but with a pretty expression.

RBOB Lovely 22 month old grizzle bitch, shown in a new pin wire jacket. Short carrot tail well set on which she used well on the move once settled (a large noisy dog in the adjacent ring didn't help!) She is of a lovely size, spannable with nice lay of rib. Was far more settled in the challenge to be awarded Reserve Best of Breed over the junior bitch winner on her more positive front movement.

3 year old grizzle bitch, another shown in full double jacket and with a really lovely thick pelt. Good bite with big teeth. She is a very workmanlike bitch that appears heavy in neck but isn't once you get your hands on her. I just preferred the size of 1.

6 1/2 year old grizzle bitch. Handled to advantage. She is a super example of the breed with a lovely otter head with a strong jaw filled with a set of large teeth. Sporting a new pin wire jacket she owned the ring moving true and with purpose with a wagging tail. Holds her shape on the move and stands balanced in the stack on nice tight feet. Pleased to award her BOB and she looked good in the group.

What a lovely veteran bitch she is. Shown in good harsh jacket with a loose pelt. Still holds her topline on the move and drives out with purpose. Spannable and narrow along with her varminty expression she saw off her younger competition.
